Question

I successfully created database on my local server using Code First, migrated it to
Azure and now I want to connect to that database with using Azure connection string and my existing POCO clases.

My connection string:

<add name="CijenolomciContext" connectionString="Data Source=*.database.windows.net;Initial Catalog=NewCijenolomci;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=Bip*;Password=**;MultipleActiveResultSets=False&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />

but this section of code happens to do nothing on the server:

Item i = new Item();
            i.Name = "Cranberry";
            i.OldPrice = new decimal(25.99);
            i.NewPrice = new decimal(14.99);
            i.SaleStarts = DateTime.Parse("2012-01-21");
            i.CategoryID = 1;
            context.Items.Add(i);
            context.SaveChanges();

How to succesfully add it?

EDIT:
This approach happens to modify my local DB, not the Server one.

Answer 1

OK. Here it is. In DbContext i inherit base constructor:

 public CijenolomciContext()
        : base(*database name*)
    {
        //additional logic
    }

and despite that i add my connection string in App.config he was always connecting to the local.

I hardcoded Connection string and just add it in the constructor. Now it works! 🙂
